IFBB Pro League Shares 2025 Contest Schedule

The full slate for the 2025 IFBB Pro League season has been shared!

The IFBB Pro League has officially shared the schedule for 2024. There will be a large list of events leading up to the 2025 Olympia. The qualification period began on Sept. 16 and will run to Sept. 14, 2025. In previous years, bodybuilders were able to total points over the course of the season. In 2022, the IFBB did away with the points qualification system for all divisions other than Wheelchair. Athletes will now have to win a show over the course of the season in order to compete on the biggest stage in bodybuilding.

The IFBB Pro League shared the full qualification rules for the competition and they mirror the 2024 system.

2025 Olympia Qualification Rules

For all Divisions except Wheelchair Bodybuilding

• Top 3 from 2024 Mr. Olympia
• Top 3 from all other divisions in 2023 Olympia
• Winner of each OPEN contest held during the qualification period

For Wheelchair Bodybuilding

• Top 3 from 2024 Olympia
• Winner of each OPEN contest held during the qualification period
• Top 5 in the Points Standing
